138 ページ - And shall the Russian serf go free By Baikal's lake and Neva's wave ? And shall the wintry-bosomed Dane Relax the iron hand of pride, And bid his bondmen cast the chain From fettered soul and limb, aside ? Shall every flap of England's flag Proclaim that all around are free, From
61 ページ - A certain quantity of wellseasoned oak being required, government issues tenders for the supply of the requisite amount. A number of contractors submit their tenders to a board appointed for the purpose of receiving them, who are regulated in their choice of a contractor, not by the amount of his tender, but of his bribe.
